I mentioned earlier that I had two publishers for a while. One handled the Simon & Elizabeth Mysteries, while the other had taken a liking to the Dead Detective Mysteries. 

This is a good time to mention that I never work on two books at once. I haven't got that kind of brain, so I focus on one until it reaches a "resting" stage, complete in a sense but perhaps not ready for sharing. I might write a rough draft and set it aside for a week or more. I might write a decent draft and as a beta reader to give me feedback. And of course there are stages with editors, one for content, one for correctness.

Between all those edits, I can mentally set one story aside and work on another one, so while the Tudors were resting, I worked on the Dead Detective series and vice versa. There's quite a difference between researching how the a person would have crossed the London Bridge on a summer afternoon to imagining life as a bit of protoplasm navigating from person to person, but it was mostly fun.

The Dead Detective series has its fans, including one man who tells me every time he sees me that it should be a movie. I'm not sure how that would be done, but I'm all for it if someone else can figure it out.

Dead for the Money finds Seamus leaving the Afterlife to investigate the death of a wealthy man. His work is complicated by a dead-detective-in-training who insists she needs to comfort the man's grandchild Brodie, who is lost without him. Seamus tries to tell her that's not their job, but with a murder on the Mackinac Bridge looming, somebody has to do something. This book is available here for $2.99.
